We enable businesses to build financial products, unlock new markets, and move money in seconds across 130+ countries, with 40+ licenses for fiat and digital assets globally. Processing billions annually, we empower enterprises worldwide to send, receive, convert, and settle stablecoins and fiat seamlessly through a single integration.

Trusted by industry leaders like Corpay, Worldpay, Deel, and Flywire, we deliver the infrastructure that makes new forms of money usable within the financial systems customers already rely on today.

By combining Mastercard's global payment reach and trusted networks with BVNK's stablecoin infrastructure, we're building the trusted operating layer for the evolution of money movement, helping customers participate in emerging digital networks without having to rebuild their businesses around every new innovation.

We're a diverse team spread across EMEA, North America, and APAC, with a shared belief that stablecoins are the new infrastructure layer for financial services, and that BVNK is at the forefront of this shift.

We're incredibly honored to have been recognized by:

- CNBC World's Top Fintech Companies (2026)
- FXC Intelligence Top 100 Cross-border Payment Companies (2026)
- Newsweek's The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces (three years running, most recently 2025)
- LinkedIn as one of the Top 20 Startups in the UK (2025)

About this role in the team:

We are seeking a Malta Compliance Manager to oversee regulatory compliance for our Malta Electronic Money Institution and CASP.

This role sits within our 2nd Line of Defence, executing and maintaining the compliance monitoring program, firm-wide policies, and regulatory oversight across both our Electronic Money Institution (EMI) and Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) operations. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring adherence with MFSA regulations, MiCA standards, and payment services rules - overseeing client asset safeguarding and conduct of business requirements.

Your primary focus will be Malta, but, as part of a global team, you will get the opportunity to support other regions and company-wide initiatives.

Key Areas of Responsibility:

- Draft and coordinate responses, regulatory notifications, thematic review submissions and gap analyses for submission to the Regulators (MFSA and CBM).
- Conduct ongoing regulatory horizon scanning across EMI and MiCA/CASP frameworks, keeping product, operations, and key stakeholders informed while ensuring timely operational compliance.
- Maintain the master regulatory compliance calendar to track and monitor all mandatory filings, statutory deadlines, and regulatory queries.
- Assist in drafting compliance reports and presentation decks for the Board of Directors, Internal Controls Committee (ICC), and the MFSA.
- Assist policy owners across the business in drafting, updating, and reviewing firm-wide compliance policies and procedures in alignment with new regulations, while overseeing policy review schedules.
- Oversee the execution of the Annual Compliance Monitoring/Testing Plan and track remediation plans.
- Log, investigate, and assess regulatory breaches, evaluating notification thresholds under regulatory frameworks such as DORA.
- Perform compliance impact assessments on new product offerings, features, and operational changes.
- Conduct token risk assessments and maintain compliance reviews for crypto assets in alignment with MiCA expectations.
- Manage and maintain the firm's Insider Register and process Personal Account Trading (PAT) requests to prevent market abuse.
- Serve as the designated compliance approver for all marketing collateral, financial promotions, and promotional communications across fiat and crypto channels for regulatory compliance.
- Oversee the 2LoD review of consumer complaints handling processes, assist with complex escalations, and perform root-cause analysis.
- Assist in monitoring capital adequacy requirements and the subsequent regulatory notifications and submissions
- Collaborate with IT and Operations to ensure compliance with operational resilience frameworks, business continuity plans (BCP), and third-party outsourcing requirements.
- Develop, deliver, and update compliance training materials for general staff and new joiners, while maintaining accurate logs of training completed by the Board and Key Function Holders.
- Act as a primary regulatory compliance Subject Matter Expert (SME) for internal teams on day-to-day regulatory compliance inquiries.

What we need from you:

- Experience: Relevant experience in a similar compliance role within financial services (preferably in a  fintech or crypto firm)
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Law, Finance, Business or a related discipline
- Knowledge: Working knowledge of the MFSA Financial and CASP Rules and Handbooks, EMD, PSD2 (and awareness of PSD3/PSR transitional provisions), and demonstrated capacity to rapidly master new regulatory frameworks.

What you can expect from us:

- Fair and competitive salary at every stage of your growth
- Flexible working hours, with hybrid working at its heart
- A culture built on passionate, growth-minded people
- A flexible approach to holiday
- Opportunities to travel to our offices around the world
- An open and creative environment where you can help us define the future of BVNK, its culture, and its opportunity sets

At BVNK, we are focused on building a diverse and inclusive team. While you may not meet all of our requirements, we’d encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of our expectations. You may be a great fit for this role or another role in our team. Compensation packages are based on candidate experience and relevant certifications.

Malta Salary Range €60.000—€100.000 EUR
